FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Thalia.
Thalia is designed to guide students toward understanding by walking them through the process step by step, helping them learn the approach to arriving at the final answers. It employs Socratic questioning, progressive hints, and metacognitive coaching, with a focus on building skills rather than providing direct solutions.
Thalia works with any course that has digital materials. It's especially powerful for STEM courses with formulas, diagrams, and problem sets. Current deployments include electrical engineering, computer science, and machine learning courses.
Thalia is designed with strict data protection protocols to ensure full compliance with FERPA. Importantly, Thalia does not use any student information for training purposes. Instructors have complete control and can choose not to provide Thalia with access to student data. All student-related interactions and materials remain private, and Thalia only uses course content provided by the instructor. We regularly review and update our policies to align with FERPA guidelines, ensuring that privacy and data security are always prioritized.
Yes. Students can upload photos or scans of handwritten solutions, and our vision-powered system can read and analyze their work — including formulas, diagrams, and circuit drawings.
The setup time for a course in Thalia is personalized and depends on the specific content and features you want to include. In most cases, it takes between a couple of days and a couple of weeks.
Simpler courses (e.g., a single syllabus upload with standard settings) can often be ready in just a few days. More complex setups (e.g., multiple documents, custom grading rubrics, advanced pedagogical configurations, or integration with specific course tools) may take closer to a couple of weeks to ensure everything is tailored perfectly to your teaching style and student needs.
We work directly with you to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible, so your Thalia instance is fully aligned with your course from day one. If you share more details about your course, we can give a more precise estimate!
